This is truly a small batch bourbon - it is comprised of 19 barrels, all from a single rack (P2613.09) at the Bardstown Distillery, bottled by Western Spirits. This release is named after horse racing Triple Crown winner Whirlaway. I tasted this delicious bourbon at First Fill Spirits (Saratoga Springs, NY).
